KANSAS G. A. r..

Harper Sentinel: Some years ago
there lived in this city t. character who
was Familiarity known as Reliable
Thompson. Many Of our citizens viii
remember him aud will call to mind mis-
remarkable history. He now resides in
Meade county, where the failure of his
crops has reduced him to the most Rd-
verse circumstances, and the @. A. r.
posts Of that county are interesting them
selves in his behalf, trying to secure a
pension for him. La 81, Thompson went
into the army, joining some Iowa regi-
ment, and marched away to the front
and was engaged in many of the desper-
ate struggles of that and tine following
.yaars. AT the battle of Cnicamauga Old
Reliable was struck by a shot in the
head, and from that moment until the
present day all the history Of the war
has been a blank TO him. He was re-
ported among the missing and his regi-
ment marched away to other conflicts.
The dreadful history of those turbulent
years was enacted about him, but be
knew nothing of the struggle. In 1870
he suddenly aWoke to a consciousness
of his condition, and found himself In
New York City, dressed ia a tattered
suit of soldiers blue, and carrying AN
old knapsack filed with the small arti-
cles and trinkets of the camp. He re-
membered his home aud the fact of hav-
ing enlisted in the army, but could call
TO mind none Of the circumstances Of the
war He returned to his friends and f.
nally the vicissitudes of fortune led him
TO smigrate to the west where he settled
in this city, where lie remained until he
located a claim IN Meade county where
he resides with his wife, whom he mar
RED after returning from the war, and
his family Of several children. He can
not tell the name or number OF his rsgi-
msut, but the Meade county post has
traced his record until they feel satisfied
that one Thompson, who was reported
missing az the battle OF ChicHmauga, is
the veritable Thompson of Meade coUn-
ty. BE has lost every thing he possessed
and the post is trying to raise the means
TO send him back 10 Iowa, where they
hope to establish his identity and secure
assistance for him. Old
comrades who desire to DO anything to
assist in This laudabls plan can forward
their contributions to Post Commander

RECORD STEALING.
Arrest ola Prominent Lawyer and a Pen
sion Clerk Creates a Sensation.

sion Clerk Creates a Sensation.
WASHINGTON, August 24.-AIr. Allen Ruth
erfOrd, d lawyer of high standing and extern
sive practice IN this city, formerly an aud
dent Grant, was arrested to-day upon
charge of receiving certain records
stolen from the pension Office.
MIR. Richard BruM6r, a clerk IN the sur
viving soldiers division of the pension Of
fee, was also arrested, charged with stealing
the records IL question. The missing pa
peEs were records OF services Of surviving
soldiers which had been copied into the books
of the pension Office. Their loss is there
fore of little moment to the pension Office,
but their possession is assumed TO be of con
sequence TO a claim agent with an extensive
practice. Mr. Rutherford gave bail in
$4,000 and was at once released,
but Mr.. Brumers IN default Of
bail, was locked up. Mr.. Brumer has de-
cllLed to employ counsel and says he Is
willing TO plead guilty to the destruction
OF the papers, but ne declares that
he had no purpose of rcbbing
the government Of anything of value. The
possible value to a claim agent was suggest
ed to him by the fact that Mr.. Rutherford
was in the habit of sending to the
pension Office for information con-
tanned in these papers, and in
asmuch as 1t was the practice OF the Office
to destroy originals after they had been
copied, he thought 1t no harm to take
them He suggested to Ar.RutherfOEd that
these records would be Of great SER
wee 10 MS once and save uIuGl
trouble, and Mr.. Rutherford agreed with
him and thought no harm could come from
taking papers which were so soon
to be destroyed. Thereafter, from
time to time, up to about year ago, Brumer
SAYS he sent packages of the papers to Mr..
rutherford. He declares that he never re-
ceiyed any compensation for this ser
vice. Mr.. Rutherford terms his arrest
an outrage which comes upon him
like a thunderbOlt. He declares that
he never received one of the stolen paper
nor made any arrangements in respect to
them. 1t would be absurd, he says, for
man IN his position TO
put his liberty in jeopardy
to get information which he
could have for the asking by sending to the
pension Office. At the time he was said to
have been receiving the papers his chief
clerk, Otto j. H. Stein, was practically
managing his business. Last January
he detected Stein IN certain surreptitIOus
practices and discharged him. Since then
Stein has tried to Iuiure him. If any ar
rangemeut was made, he says, Stein made
ceIV6d them. He attributes the charge and
his arrest TO STEMS malevOleuc6
rutherford and Brumer We're comrades
during the rebellion, both having been mem
bsrs of the New York Seventh regiment.
Brumer expected to lose mis- posi-
ton when the present administration
came into power. In that anticipation he
had spoken to General Rutherford. The
latter had promised TO assist him IN ind
ing employment out of gratitude BrumCr
says he suggested and undertook to perform
a friendly service and return. The cases
Will come up IN the police court tomorrow.

The British wheat Crop.

LONDON August 26.-The London Times
publishes the following about English crops:
Wheat comes out as the best crop of the
year, as was to be expected. 1t is not so
great a crop, however, as a few
weeks ago a few enthusiasts were hoping
for. We may put wheat as producing a
crop of a little over 100000 quarters gross,
giving a crop to sell of a little over 100000
quarters. This VIII leave Us dependent on
foreign supplies for at least 100000
and probably 100000 quarters, for 1t
must not be forgotten that the shOrtness Of
the potato crop VIII cause greater demand
than usual for breadstutfs. The demand
for corn for cattle feeding Is also
likely to be great especially If low
prices prevail. When We consider that the
world Is reducing its wheat area and that
there is not now very large supply OF corn
on hand, we may expect that agrlculturlsts
viii receive this year a more remuneratlve
price for their wheat than for few years

DEwEE, August 26.-Telegrams received

captain Lawson was returning to Meeker
Saturday afternoon from Camp Adams with
kilograms, when he was headed of and
chased twenty miles up Piceance creek and
held by the Indians until darkness permitted
his escape. They struck him about dusk at
bridge which crosses the Piceance and
nred at him repeatedly while chasing him.
Captain Lawson T, turned the fire twice. He
reached Meeker early yesterday morning
completely faigued. If a fight Is avoided
until the arrival of Governor Adams the
trouble may be Rmiably settled, but if the
Indians and natives clash befOre-his arrival,

CoLoROw's CAMP EVACUATED.

Supposed TO Have Been A tackled by Cow
bOys-Chipeta Among the Missing
OMAHA, NIB., August 23.-General Crook
received dispatch yesterday from Major
Randlett, in command of Fort Duchesne,
Utah, IN which he gives an account of an un-
successful attempt TO find ColOroW and ne
gouats with him. The dispatch stated that
Indian Agent ByTnes, in charge of the White
River Otes at Uintah agency, had sent out a
white man IN company with Elney, Colo
rows son, to a point near Meeker, where
Colorow was supposed to be camped. On
arriving there they found the camp had been
burned and domestic utensils were scattered
about as If the place had been evacuated
IN great haste. Young COlOrOW said he was
confident the camp had been attacked and
burned by cowboys. 1t was also reported
that Chipeta, the widow of Chief Ouray,
had been made away with, as she was among
the missing squgws. The UUe5 at this
agency, so the dispatch says, have no knowl-
edge of any outbreak and understand that
the Colorado authorities are after COlOrow
for violating the game law. General Crook
said he had received no direct information
that there had been an Outbreak and is
strongly inclined to the belief that there
is nothing in It.

Christopher Meyer Refuses to Lend
Henry S. Ives 100000.
NEW YORK, August 26.-An evening paper
says: Shortly before s O'Clock last night
Henry S. Ives, accompanied by his partner,
Stayner, and Assignee Cromwell, went to
New Brunswick, n. j., and after spending
nearly an hour at dinner, drove over the
Raritan river to the mansion of Mr.. Chris
topher Meyer, now first vice presi-
dent of the Consolidated Hamil-
ton d Dayton railroad. Mr.. Meyer
vas not aware of the coming of the gentle
men until a very short time before their ar
rival. Mr.. Ives carried a small daybOOk, to
which he invited the attention of Mr.. Meyer.
He said it was a statement of Ives q Co. s
affairs, and showed a surplus of S7,OOOOOO,
in the shape of securities, held by various
persons who had advanced money upon

ties. some s., 900, GOO, it would enable the
firm TO pull through and make good
every dollar. He was afraid, he said,
that in another week these securities would
be thrown on the market and slaughtered.
They consist of 100000 In the Chemical
bank, $500, 600 IN government bonds, 81, Co.,
COO IN Cincinnati, Hamilton 81 Dayton,
S250,OOO IN Chicago, Peoria IL Illinois, and
other good stocks. Assignee Cromwell said
that he was confident the securities would
become very valuable if the firm We're given
reasonable time to realize upon them. Mr..
Meyer did not appear to be anxious to dis
cuss the matter, and expressed a desire to be
let alone. He had enough, he said, the firm
being already his creditor to large amount.
